9 months in 4,5 minutes – film summary of our project
Our project was successful
Our project, which was supported by the Norwegian Civil Support Fund, has successfully ended, which helped us to reach to approximately 6590 children and adults. The dogs, trained by the NEO Hungarian Service dog Organization not only ease their disabled owner’s lives, but they also help in our program carried out in kindergartens, schools, different workplaces and events which shapes people’s opinion on society. Thanks to this support, in only a couple of months we have reached to several places in the countryside and have met with success among participants with our special range of programs. One of the project’s goal was to demonstrate the everyday life of disabled people through an informative program carried out by our hearing/visually impaired or disabled members with the help of their service dogs. The presence of the dogs helped to maintain a more open atmosphere, in which it was easier to have a conversation about what it is like to be handicapped, and the question of equal opportunities. Our hearing-, guide-, service- and therapy dogs are all core members of the sensitizing groups! With the help of specially trained dogs, their owner’s tough life can be lived through as a positive experience, which is also important because this topic is usually seen as a taboo in society.

Sensitizing training: Üröm
On 28th February, our team visited the József Nádor Primary School and Elementary Arts Educational Institute of Üröm. This show was interesting for us too, because the 3rd graders were listening to our lessons with excitement and openness, and they also participated in the games. In the convivial sensitizing training the following four-legged participants were involved: our hearing dog, Kuku, our therapy dog, Joya, and “T”, who is currently under training to become a therapy dog.
